As always, I'd suggest patience. Hasbro likes their repaints, so it would not surprise me if some of those two packs don't end up in the Battle Master single assortment later on. This line is apt to last until next spring, that's a good 4-5 waves worth of time.

Just for general information, since TFW2005 is giving a skewed perspective: Hasbro's street date/on shelf date/whatever is April 10, from everything I've seen. April 10 seems to be the "magic day" for about ALL of Hasbro's summer releases. If you find it early, GREAT. But don't be EXPECTING...

On the subject of Tiger Force... I went to a near-ish Target today, saw all GI Joe stuff on clearance. Not overly worried since the Reaction were still there, but it gives credence to my theory that the new "closed box" Classified figures are being treated as a "soft reboot" of the line. And...

And people were decrying the Coruscant side trip a couple of episodes ago as being "pointless". O ye of little faith! That definitely puts a new spin on Kane's roll in the series at this stage (especially where we run across her this time).

Found mine locally, but did manage to snag a Batgirl for $3

I guess Chuck splurged on all the available stuff. Basically, all the Battle Masters are some sort of butt blasters, at this stage. I find it interesting how much shared engineering there is between the Weaponizers and Combiner Optimus Primal. The biggest mechanical design difference is in...

But they STILL forgot his red crest though...

That's a Rad Cat right there...

LOL Amazon ganked the early listings they had up for Rise of the Beasts toys. Good thing I jumped on it when I did. Not that it probably means much given I paid a couple extra bucks on something that will be sitting at retail for months.

These Beast Alliance Toys are FULL of ports!

So, hey. Those Amazon listings were accurate, I got Weaponizer Primal today. So if Amazon says "in stock" it really is, meaning if you can't wait a couple of weeks, Amazon will sell you some movie toys early.

Is it strange I’m hoping that Mattel might make BraveStarr and TexHex in the Origins line? BraveStarr always did feel a bit like a cousin line to He-Man (maybe Rio Blast was a design refugee from that line?), be neat to see that crossover. But I’m also the kind of weirdo that’s like “throw in...

I’m still over here waiting for that good look at Core Voyager Optimus Primal…

To be fair, in fiction, there are a LOT of famous star ships. But I think it might have come down to the fact the Voyager events weren’t as “exciting” as one of the most famous ships of the Dominion War. Correlating to the real world, in the 50s and 60s, there were a number of interesting...

I’m still surprised Mattel opted to tool up those new torsos. I figured they’d end up deluxe by pure parts count, but the WWE Macho Man and Roddy Piper showed they had tooling to “replicate” the Battle Armor gimmick with standard bucks.

But this one WAS all metal. The handles were tiny metal rods connected by a mini metal chain. Rods were just a HAIR too small for the figure, but it was good enough for 5 year old Steevy.

Not sure where this belongs, but… Apparently there is a big budget Knights of the Zodiac/Saint Seiya adaption coming out soon! How soon? Early May! Trailer actually just got posted. Sean Bean and Famke Jansen headline this why-is-this-not-getting-dumped-to-streaming project. $60 million...

I’m 95% sure than the 3 packs are just a store exclusive bundling of figures we’ll be able to get individually. That’s WAY too much new for a retailer exclusive. But depending on price, those multipacks might end up marginally cheaper to get. And since it appears nobody has mentioned them...

So…searching for “Transformers MV7” nets you a couple of listings for movie toys: Weaponizers 2 packs of Prime and Primal, plus the Primal Combiner 2 pack. Battle Changer Prime and Combiner Bumblebee are dated for April 10. Plus Core Deluxe listings for Cheetor and Bumblebee…from the UK...

I do applaud Disney for not mandating a “set runtime”. This was one of the shortest episodes ever for the series, but it still felt like it did what it needed to do without excessive meandering. Something else I didn’t mention a few weeks back, is that I LOVE how the production team is...
